Please watch this video and tell me if you think the same technique can be used on an OEM TLR 200 gas tank.

I have had this kind of dent removal done on a few cars and it worked great. It is truly amazing what they can do.

If you will notice on the motorcycle tanks they are working on the access is great - large fuel tanks with big fill holes that provide plenty of room to insert and move the tools around. I have an RL250 Suzuki with a dent - but the small filler cap, narrow tank and the interior hump for the frame backbone all restrict access and make it impossible to get a tool in that will reach the dent.

If the dent in your tank is in a location that can be reached by something you can put through your fuel filler opening.....chances are the dent removal could be done.
